Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular potatoes instead?

Yes, russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work well, though they contain fewer vitamins than sweet potatoes.

Is this meal good for meal prep?

You can prep the hash ahead of time, but the eggs are best fried fresh just before serving.

How do I know when the eggs are done?

The whites should be opaque and firm, while the yolks should jiggle slightly when the pan is nudged.
